An Ola Family servant Conc.

Aunt Sarah Gibson, one OF those faithful,
devoted and loyal people, known In the
South as "old family servants" died yes
terday at the residence Of Mrs. James Col
gate, No. 1907 street northwest. She was
between 20 and so years Of age, and was
raised by Mrs. Colgate's grandmother, and
had been the nurse Of Mrs. Colgate and her
thirteen children. For the past six or
seven years Aunt Sarah has been an In
valid. She was remarkable for her Won
derful intelligence and memory, and the
late Mr.. Colgate always called her the "The
encyclopedia" She would read only tho
best Of books, and she digested their con-
tents In q manner which would put many
Of her llghter-skinned brethren to blush.
The old citizens and their children know
her and esteemed her, and will keenly re-
gret her death. Her funeral will take
place tomorrow from the Asbury Church.
The Washington critic., 1887-06-03
A Famous pQcior

Once said that the secret OF good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayers Pills
MS an apcrient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as SO many Of His
distinguished successors are doing
The celebrated DIR. Farnsworth, OF
Norwich, Conn, recommends Ayers
Pills as the best OF all remedies for
Intermittent Fevers."
DIR. 1. L. Fowler, of Bridgeport,
Conn, says: "Aycr's Pills are highly
and universally spoken Of by the people
about here. l make daily use Of them
in my practice
DR.. Mayhem, of New Bedford, Mass,
says: "Having prescribed many tliou-
sands of Ayers Pills, in my practice, l
can unhesitatingly pronounce them tho
best catliartic in use"
The Massachusetts, State Assayer, DIR.
A. A. Hayes, certifcs IL have made
careful analysis of Ayers Pills. They
contain the active principles Of we'll
known drugs, isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
OF great importance to their usefulness.
1t insures activity, certainty, and uni
formity OF effect. Ayers Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, but
the virtues Of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination"

A NOTABLE ODDITY.
A Young Man About Town OF Marked

Eccentricities.
One Of the strangest and queerest sights
In the streets Of Washington is young
fellow who dresses in the most eccentric
and extravagant fashion. He wears pair
Of boots with heels fully four inches high.
His coat sleeves are so long that they cover
the tips Of his fingers, and even beyond that
he has pair Of enormous cuffs. This young
man is the son Of wealthy parents, and is
generally regarded as being trine daft.
One Of his peculiarities Is love for his
own figure. He thinks he is the handsomest
man alive. lie rents an office in an up
town building, to which no one except
favored few are admitted. This room he
has arranged so that the walls and ceiling
are entirely covered with mirrors. Strange
stories are told Of the young mans actions
In this apartment. II is said no will re.
main there for hours admiring himself, as
reflected In the glass, all the while cutting
up the most extraordinary antics. On the
street he never looks to the right nor to the
left. He never speaks to any one unless
first addressed. Several times he has been
guyed BY young fellows, who thought they
would have lark at his expense. In each
and every instance they have been soundly
thrsshed, for he is one Of the most expert
and scientific sparrtrs 10 the city. This
man is ose Of Washipgton's most notable
oddities,

Clenr the Way

Without loss Of time, when the intestinal
canal is blocked up by reason Of constipa-
ton, chronic or temporary. 1t should be
borne In mind that this ailment Is prone to
become lasting and obstinate, aud breed

move the obstruction effectually, but WITH
out drenching or weakening the blockade

preventing kidney and bladder troubles,
and fever and ague, 1t is without peer.

WASHINGTON CRITIC
SUMMER EVENING.

The day Ia spent, the dews begin to fall,
The summer breeze Is sinking with sigh;
The colonnade OF elms Is black and tall,
Against the crimson twilight, but on high
The Shepherds star shakes In the steeiy
sky.
Far OF the Angelus, with measured call,
ls sounding "Peace" to cottsge and to
hail,
And heaven and earth are matched in har-
mony.
Birds know the time, and wing to roosting
boughs
The thirsty deer are rustling through the
reeds,
Where the large mirror Of the mere lies
bare.
The children, tired Of play, arc fain to
house
II is II hour when labor has It's needs,
And Love is lighted Of It's load Of care.
